You Might Be a Smart Car Owner .....

Lets have some fun. Below I have wrote a few things down that are "sorta" unique to Smart car owners. You job is to add to it....

You might be a Smart Car owner……
If you slammed your door on your seat belt…
If you get a “thumbs up” or smile by other cars owners at least a couple times a week…
If you are scared to death to drive it in the snow…
If you never have any problems with parking…
If you drive around pot holes...
If you thought the wind was going to slam you into a guard rail...

If people ask you the following questions every time you get out of your car:
  • What is the gas mileage?
  • Is that electric?
  • How do you “fit” in that car?
  • Is the car safe?
Have fun, Dan

"If you are scared to death to drive it in the snow…"

WRONG. smarts handle extremely well in snow as long as the road has been plowed once.

"If you thought the wind was going to slam you into a guard rail..."

WRONG again. You are gripping the steering wheel to tightly. (and overcorrecting) Loosen up and the wind will buffet you a little, but you are not going to "slam into a guard rail".

You might be a smart car owner if your trips to IKEA never include a purchase bigger than a plate of meatballs.

If you make other car owners jealous because you can fill up for under $50...
If you get thumbs up from motorcyclists...
If you suddenly become popular with kids and girls...

You might be a smart owner if you still have bills in your wallet after a fill up.
